obvious clerical or calculation error. Submittal may be withdrawn from consideration if the price was
substantially lower than the other submittals due solely to a mistake therein, provided pricing was
submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake and
was due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or
material made directly in the compilation of the submittal. The unintentional arithmetic error or omission
can be clearly proven through inspection of the original work papers, documents, and materials used in
preparing the submittal sought to be withdrawn. The vendor's original work papers shall be the sole

IWQ 041326 Page 8 of 15
acceptable evidence of error and mistake if a vendor elects to withdraw their submittal. If a quote or bid
submittal is withdrawn under the authority of this provision, the lowest remaining responsive offer shall
be deemed to be low bid.
No vendor who is permitted to withdraw their submittal shall, for compensation, supply any material or
labor or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for the person or firm to whom the contract
is awarded or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, from the performance of the project for which the
withdrawn bid or proposal was submitted.

bid bond if a bond was required. Bid may not be withdrawn otherwise.
Withdrawal is not automatically granted and will be allowed solely at Gwinnett County's discretion.

supplies before the results of the tests are determined. Cost of inspections and tests of any item that

XI. AWARD
A. Award will be made to either the highest scoring firm (for proposals) or the lowest responsive
and responsible vendor (for quotes/bids). The quality of the articles to be supplied, their
conformity with the specifications, their suitability to the requirements of the County, and the
delivery terms will be taken into consideration in making the award. The County may make such
investigations as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the vendor to perform, and the
vendor shall furnish to the County all such information and data for this purpose as the County
may request. The County reserves the right to reject any submittal if the evidence submitted by,
or investigation of such vendor fails to satisfy the County that such vendor is properly qualified
to carry out the obligations of the contract.
B. The County reserves the right to reject or accept any or all offers and to waive technicalities,
informalities and minor irregularities in the submittals received.
C. The County reserves the right to make an award as deemed in its best interest, which may include
awarding to a single vendor or multiple vendors; or to award the whole solicitation agreement,
only part of the agreement, or none of the agreement, based on its sole discretion of its best
interest.
D. In the event of proposal scores rounded to the nearest whole number result in a tie score, the
award will be based on lowest cost.
E. If proposal negotiations with the highest ranked firm are unsuccessful, the County may then
negotiate with the second ranked firm and so on until a satisfactory agreement has been reached.
XII. DELIVERY FAILURES
Failure of a vendor to deliver within the time specified or within reasonable time as interpreted by the
Purchasing Director, or failure to make replacement of rejected articles/services when so requested,
immediately or as directed by the Purchasing Director, shall constitute authority for the Purchasing
Director to purchase in the open market articles/services of comparable grade to replace the
articles/services rejected or not delivered. On all such purchases, the vendor shall reimburse the County
within a reasonable time specified by the Purchasing Director for any expense incurred in excess of the
contract prices, or the County shall have the right to deduct such amount from monies owed the
defaulting vendor. Alternatively, the County may penalize the vendor one percent (1%) per day for a period
of up to ten (10) days for each day that delivery or replacement is late. Should public necessity demand
it, the County reserves the right to use or consume articles/services delivered which are substandard in
quality, subject to an adjustment in price to be determined by the Purchasing Director.
XIII. COUNTY FURNISHED PROPERTY
No material, labor or facilities will be furnished by the County unless so provided in the solicitation
package.
XIV. REJECTION OF SUBMITTALS
Failure to observe any of the instructions or conditions in this solicitation package may constitute
grounds for rejection.
XV. CONTRACT
Each submittal is received with the understanding that the acceptance in writing by the County of the
offer to furnish any or all the commodities or services described therein shall constitute a contract
between the vendor and the County which shall bind the vendor on his part to furnish and deliver the

IWQ 041326 Page 10 of 15
articles quoted at the prices stated in accordance with the conditions of said accepted submittal. The
County, on its part, may order from such vendor, except for cause beyond reasonable control, and to pay
for, at the agreed prices, all articles specified and delivered.
Upon receipt of a solicitation package containing a Gwinnett County "Sample Contract" as part of the
requirements, it is understood that the vendor has reviewed the documents with the understanding that
Gwinnett County requires that all agreements between the parties must be entered into via this
document. If any exceptions are taken to any part, each must be stated in detail and submitted as part
of the vendor's submittal. If no exceptions are stated, it is assumed that the vendor fully agrees to the
provisions contained in the "Sample Contract" in its entirety.
Any Consultant as defined in O.C.G.A. 36-80-28 that is engaged to develop or draft
specifications/requirements or serve in a consultative role during the procurement process for any
County procurement method, by entering into such an arrangement or executing a contract, the
consultant agrees to abide by the current state law and: 1) Avoid any appearance of impropriety and
shall follow all policies and procedures of the County, 2) Disclose to the County any material transaction
or relationship pursuant to 36-80-28, that is considered a conflict of interest, any involvement in
litigation or other dispute, relationship, or financial interest not disclosed in the ethics affidavit, and 3)
Acknowledge that any violation or threatened violation of the agreement may cause irreparable injury to
the County, entitling the County to seek injunctive relief in addition to all other legal remedies.
When the vendor has performed in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, Gwinnett County
shall pay to the vendor, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any department approved payment request
and based upon work completed or service provided pursuant to the contract, the sum so requested, less
the retainage stated in this agreement, if any. If Gwinnett County fails to pay the vendor within sixty (60)
days of receipt of a pay request based upon work completed or service provided pursuant to the contract,
the County shall pay the vendor interest at the rate of 12% per month or pro rata fraction thereof, beginning
the sixty-first (61st) day following receipt of pay requests. The vendor's acceptance of progress payments
or final payment shall release all claims for interest on said payment.
The parties agree that this Contract shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Georgia.
XVI. NON-COLLUSION
Vendor declares that the submittal is not made in connection with any other vendor's submittal for the
same commodity or commodities, and that the submittal is bona fide and is in all respects fair and
without collusion or fraud. An affidavit of non-collusion shall be executed by each vendor. Collusion and
fraud in submittal preparation shall be reported to the State of Georgia Attorney General and the United
States Justice Department.
XVII. DEFAULT
The contract may be canceled or annulled by the Purchasing Director in whole or in part by written notice
of default to the vendor upon non-performance or violation of contract terms. An award may be made to
the next low responsive and responsible vendor, or the next highest scoring responsive and responsible
proposer, or articles specified may be purchased on the open market similar to those so terminated. In
either event, the defaulting vendor (or their surety) shall be liable to the County for costs to the County in
excess of the defaulted contract prices; provided, however, that the vendor shall continue the
performance of this contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions of this clause. Failure of
the vendor to deliver materials or services within the time stipulated on their offer, unless extended in
writing by the Purchasing Director, shall constitute contract default.
